When we think of dolphins Cheap Sean Davis Jersey , the first thing that comes to our mind is they are playful and interesting to watch. No doubt, dolphin is the most intelligent marine animal in the world. However, there are a multitude of interesting things about this type of species.
Here is a brief synopsis of the lifecycle of dolphins. Dolphin breathes with the help of a blow hole it has in its head. Dolphins as such can鈥檛 stay under the water for long durations. They have to come up to the top of the water almost every minute in order to breathe. Dolphins have around one hundred teeth which help them to catch their prey. However, the purpose of their teeth is only limited to catching their prey Cheap Cheap Artie Burns Jersey , not for chewing them. A dolphin has ears in the form of tiny holes located on either side of its head and it can hear well with its ears.

When dolphins sense that an enemy is approaching, they immediately form a group in which the male dolphins circle around the female and baby dolphins to protect them. If the prey tries to carry out an attack on any of the dolphins, all the dolphins in the group come for help and chase their enemy away.
Here are some other interesting facts about dolphins. First of all Cheap Maurkice Pouncey Jersey , dolphins are mammals which mean they nurse their babies with their mammary glands.

Dolphins are social beings which stay as a group and help each other to find food Cheap Cameron Heyward Jersey , to look after their babies, and to protect themselves from enemies.
The largest type of dolphin is Oscra (or the Killer whale) that can grow up to 6 meters in length. The most commonly known and popular type of dolphins is the bottlenose dolphin. They are the ones which we see in live aquatic shows and TV series and movies. Dolphins are warm blooded animals and their internal body temperature is around 36 degrees. They have a thick layer called 鈥榖lubber鈥?under the surface of their skin and this helps them to hold the required body temperature.
